Well I cried. This is perfect for people who love romances where opposites attract, second chance romances with grief and obstacles to overcome
.
Very well written and I enjoyed the duel POV. With a whopping twist.

This book really touched my heart. Angst, heartache, love, so much love and second chances had me firmly gripped and invested in this lyrical story.

This emotional rollercoaster of a novel follows the tumultuous journey of Andrea and Jace, two individuals from starkly different worlds, whose love is put to the ultimate test by the harsh realities of life.

Sarah Ready's ability to captivate readers with her words and tug at their heartstrings earns this novel a well-deserved 4-star rating.

Wow this is my first book by this author but it definitely won’t be my last. This book follows this epic love story between Andy and Jace a rich blue blood girl with a poor musician who are instantly in love with one another and ready to face anything to keep it or are they.

This book was more than a contemporary romance this book was adorable, heartbreaking filled with what family means and love means to me this was a really moving book. I was not expecting this when I saw the cover I thought it would be another fun fast paced contemporary romance but that is not the case with this gem. This books characters had me from the start even the side characters had me wanting books about them. The main characters were so lovable and real in this book and I was really invested in what happened to them. This book is also a lot longer than I expected but really enjoyed the pacing and felt like the story kind of needed it and to be honest I could just keep reading these characters for much longer . I would like to thank NetGalley and the publishers for a chance to read this book for an honest review.

I want to thank the author and publisher for access to this one. This book just wasn't hitting for me. I ended up reading part of the book with my eyeballs and part of the book with my ears, and I just couldn't connect with the characters. It was a little slow from the start for me, unfortunately. While I was interested in the premise and I love a time jump, I just didn't find myself wanting to figure out how the characters connected from past to present day.

I will not be reviewing this anywhere except in this space.

Thank you, endlessly, for access to this book. I'm excited to try a book by Sarah again in the future!

4.5 stars

The Space Between by Sarah Ready tells the story of Andrea (Andy), born into a wealthy family and living in the Upper East Side of New York City and Jace, a musical prodigy from the Bronx, who meet one day in Central Park and instantly feel a connection. Andy must follow the rules and present a certain image because of her family/name. Jace is the only one who can truly see her for who she is and understands her.

Told in three parts, over many years, this story follows Jace and Andy as they navigate their teen years, a band tour, the event that tears them apart for many years, and a possible second chance at love. This is part coming-of-age tale and part second chance love story that will break your heart and put it back together again and I'm here for it. I just love Sarah Ready and will read anything she puts out.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of The Space Between by Sarah Ready in exchange for my honest review and opinions. This is one of the most heartwarming books I've read in a long time. I seriously was unable to put it down and found myself smiling from ear to ear at many parts of this story. So touching and wonderful. Read this as soon as you possibly can.

What a fantastic story about what happens when two people met and grow together and apart and all the space in between. Told from the 2 main characters pov it follows their story from meeting growing apart and meeting again and everything in between. Both narrators capture the heart of both characters and bring the story so true alive. They made me laugh smile and cry. Feel anger and made me wish things were different. I loved every second the only bit that could jave been better is we learnt more about the female character's life in the space where they werent yogether than we did the male and thats it. A solid 5 star

This one was adorable!!! I loved the NYC setting and the connection between Jace & Andi. I also love dual pov;s!!I
Second chance romances are my JAM and this was just so much fun!

I love that both Andi & Jace did not give up on one another! ugh, SO SWOONY!

Also, this one had so so much character depth! Sarah Ready is officially an auto-buy author for me!

Before this book I had never read a book by Sarah Ready. But this book stole the show for me! I was hooked within a few chapters. Loved the threads of the story weaving together and honestly didn't know how far it would go.

Wow, I’m at a loss for words. The Space Between was an emotional rollercoaster of feelings; happy, angry, heartbreaking with devastating betrayals, forgiveness and love. Andi and Jace come from two different worlds but their love overcomes all their obstacles and struggles. It’s been awhile since a story has tugged on my heartstrings and made me cry. I’d highly recommend this book. Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Holy cow, this book! It broke me! I just finished it, and I don't know what to do with myself right now. I stayed up until 4 am reading. I woke up at 6 to get ready for work, and had to start reading again. Called in sick to work! Sobbed!! Considered calling my husband home from work because I was an emotional wreck. And yet it still has a happy ending. All that to say-Read it, but buckle up!! And cancel all plans for the next 24 hours;) Thank you Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

An emotionally provoking, coming of age love story that will captivate and crush your heart. A three-timeline book told in alternating views. A little more hers than his.

Andrea and Jace are from completely opposite worlds — one a socialite from Upper East Side New York and the other an orphaned musical prodigy from the Bronx. They meet by fate one day in a park as teenagers. Andrea had never felt more seen by anyone before and Jace never more inspired than he was with her. Deciding that their love can beat the odds, Andi leaves behind her family and their carefully planned future for her to follow Jace and his brothers on tour. Everything was blissfully perfect, until it wasn’t. The pressure on the road drives them apart and soon Andrea was on her way back to the city and Jace on his way to fame without her.

Five years later, his love never fading, Jace returns to New York to find Olivia — only a day before her wedding. It is clear that their hearts will always belong to each other, but her life is promised to another. And so we are taken on Olivia’s journey into that life to experience what happens in the space between. Twisting and turning again and again, before finally arriving at the end.

I don’t know many authors who can start a novel as YA then deeply and effectively develop all characters into a real adult romance by the end, with minimal spice. Ready masterfully weaves the most devastating and tender details of life in this novel. Carefully unraveling all the tragic moments that influenced the outcome of this heart-wrenching tale of true love. You will find yourself rooting for every character in this story to have their happily ever after.

I've started to read this book several times, but I really don't like how the story present itself.
It's like reading all the elements that will spoiler the plot since the very beginning and it kind of ruins the rest.
I'm really disappointed, since Josh and Gemma make a baby is one of my favorite romance, but this one (as Josh and Gemma the second time around) seems not my cup of tea..

Where is the sparkle I've seen in Josh and Gemma?
Difficult to find now..

This is a good book. The two main characters are Andi and Jace. When they were seventeen, they meet in Central Park. There was an instant attraction. They both thought that they were their everything. Andi comes a very fluent family. Jace’s parents were killed, he has his older brothers. Jace’s family has started a band and are going touring. Jace asked Andi to go on tour, she does, but they break up. Several years later they meet again.. they fall in love again.

While interesting, this story did have sections that were slower and potentially unnecessary. There were many times I considered not finishing. The characters were not super likeable or easy to connect with. Overall the book was alright, but not my favourite.

Before this book I had never read a book by Sarah Ready. But this book stole the show for me! I was hooked within a few chapters. This book follows Jace and Andrea. They met one day in Central Park and knew they were meant to be. Andrea was born into a wealthy family and has to abide by her familys rules. In come Jace who sees her for who she truly is. Jace is a musical star who has hopes to see the world with his brothers.
This book is an opposites attract romance which I always eat up. But it was more than a romance. It's the story of heartbreak and how your heart can be put back together. I loved getting to read about Jace and Andrea's love blossoming. I can't wait to read more from Sarah Ready!

Wow this book was just breathtaking! It was the first of if this author and it did NOT disappoint!
Andrea was born to a wealthy family and has to adhere to the expectations and drama, while Jace is a music prodigy who isn’t as fortunate and will do anything for him and his family to make it big and take care of them.
No one approves of their relationship and they go through SO much - and that twist OMG.

I do wish there was more time from Jace’s POV though- I felt like it was more geared towards Andrea’s!

Thank you to NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.

Andi meets Jace in the park and their love affair begins. On the surface, Andi and Jace are absolute opposites and their romance shouldn't work. But for them, it is true love. Jace is busy trying to get his family band discovered. Andi is trying to decide who she is when her family isn't making all the decisions for her. And in one night, it all comes crashing down. Andi finds Jace with another woman and that is the end of their love story. Or is it? Andi races back to New York and gives her family's life another try. How bad could it all be? She is presented with a unique situation that ends up being life changing. Will Jace and Andi's path cross again?
I thoroughly loved The Space Between by Sarah Ready! Well written, kept me guessing, heart-felt, good story-telling. I will be recommending The Space Between to my other reading buddies and would love to read other works by Ready. Even through everything, I was always rooting for Andi's happiness. I am so glad she was able to get the life she so deserved. Special thanks to NetGalley, Sarah Ready, and W.W. Crown, Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), Members' Titles for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
5 stars for me!

The Space Between by Sarah Ready is the story of a love that keeps hitting bumps in the road. Timing is everything and timing never seems to work for the couple in this book. The book traces their story over a long period of time. I love the books I’ve read previously by this author and I could not wait to read this book. I was surprised to find that I did not like this book as much. I found the characters incredibly frustrating and slightly irritating. Overall, the story was fine and I will definitely still read other books by this author. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.
